Breast Binder Support by CMO
Whether you will not be breast feeding or if it's time to stop,
the Loving Comfort® Breast Binder is the comfortable and effective
way to suppress lactation. The whisper-soft, latex-free elastic
provides the necessary compression needed to support and bind the
breast, and to prevent and treat engorgement. The breast binder is
lightweight, easy to put on and is adjustable without requiring
assistance. The Loving Comfort® Breast Binder may be used with
nursing pads, if desired.
Engorgement
In most women, the milk supply arrives quickly and forcibly a few
days after delivery. The breasts can become tightly swollen and
sore, and are said to be "engorged." It is not our role to
discourage breast feeding, but if that is your choice, and since
prescription medications are no longer available to suppress
lactation, wearing the Loving Comfort® Breast Binder will help keep
your milk from coming in. Engorgement can also happen when you
decide to stop breastfeeding and milk accumulates in the breasts.
You should wean your baby gradually and express some milk if needed.
If your breasts become engorged because you have stopped
breastfeeding, wear your Loving Comfort® Breast Binder as tightly as
is comfortable, up to 24 hours a day. Cold packs may provide further
relief. After a few days, whatever buildup of milk there is will
prevent still more milk from being produced and your breasts will
gradually become less full and less painful.
Mastitis Caution
Mastitis is a breast infection which may occur when bacteria enters
the breast through the nipple. It is extremely rare in non-nursing
mothers but fairly common in nursing ones. Symptoms include
mid-to-high fever, chills, fatigue, and joint pain. All or part of
the breast may become red, hard, hot, and painful. If this condition
occurs, call your doctor immediately for consideration of antibiotic
therapy. |
